Last week was one of the best weeks for flight deals to Europe that we've seen in recent memory. And this week is starting out with some stellar deals as well. American Airlines along with Oneworld partners British Airways, Finnair, and Iberia, continue to offer incredible fares from some major cities across the U.S. to many different cities in Europe. Fares are as low as $224 roundtrip.
There are also a few deals on other major carriers like United and Air Canada. Who knows how long these deals will stick around. There seem to be new deals every day but chances are these will be gone in a flash.
Travel Availability
These discounted fares are available for travel from September through April. A Saturday night or a 7-night minimum stay is required.
Peak holiday travel times in late December and early January are blacked out.
Sale Period
This sale is unadvertised and fares may jump at any moment. Try many different sites if you are finding prices jumping as inventory is going quickly and may still be available on another booking engine.
